Mamete Prevostini Metodo Classico Gus 2020

Mamete Prevostini Metodo Classico Gus 2020 is a refined sparkling wine from the dramatic Alpine slopes of Lombardy, crafted in the traditional method to deliver depth, elegance and precision. Blending Chardonnay and Pinot Nero, it offers a profile that nods to classic Champagne while retaining a distinctly Italian mountain character. This cuvée showcases the estate’s commitment to cool-climate freshness and meticulous craftsmanship in one crisp, complex bottle.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, Gus 2020 typically shows a bright straw-yellow hue with fine, persistent bubbles forming a delicate, creamy mousse. On the nose, expect fresh citrus, green apple and pear layered with white flowers, subtle brioche, almond and a mineral lift that reflects its Alpine origins. The palate is vibrant and linear, with lively acidity framing flavors of lemon zest, crisp orchard fruit and hints of stone fruit, supported by gentle notes of toasted bread, hazelnut and a saline, chalky finish. The mousse is refined and elegant, giving the wine a polished texture and impressive length. While beautifully enjoyable now for its energy and precision, this Metodo Classico has the structure to develop further complexity over the next 3–5 years, gaining more autolytic (brioche and pastry) nuances with time in bottle.

Production
Sourced from high-altitude vineyards in Lombardy, Gus 2020 benefits from a cool Alpine climate, strong diurnal shifts and porous, mineral-rich soils that naturally preserve acidity and aromatic purity. Grapes are carefully hand-harvested to ensure pristine fruit and gentle handling, with Chardonnay contributing tension and finesse and Pinot Nero adding structure and subtle red-fruit complexity. After a soft pressing, the base wines ferment at controlled temperatures in stainless steel to maintain freshness, followed by secondary fermentation in bottle according to the Metodo Classico (traditional method). The wine then rests sur lattes on its lees for an extended period, allowing for fine perlage development and nuanced autolytic character before disgorgement and a judicious dosage to balance brightness and texture.

Food & Serving
Mamete Prevostini Metodo Classico Gus 2020 is a versatile sparkling wine that shines as an aperitif and at the table. It pairs beautifully with fresh shellfish (oysters, shrimp, scallop crudo), sushi and sashimi, delicate fish dishes, and classic Italian antipasti such as bresaola, vitello tonnato, and soft, mild cheeses. It also complements vegetable tempura, light poultry dishes and creamy risottos, especially those featuring seafood or mountain herbs. Serve well-chilled at around 6–8°C (43–46°F). A brief 10–15 minutes in the glass is enough for the aromas to open; decanting is not necessary, but avoid serving it too cold so that its subtle complexity can fully emerge.
